First Degree

Cass Leary Legal Thriller Series, Book 7

By: Robin James

Narrated by: Teri Clark Linden

This lawyer is her client’s last hope and her town’s worst nightmare.

When a popular cheerleader winds up dead in a ditch, the case lands in Defense Attorney Cass Leary’s own backyard. Her niece’s boyfriend, Cole, is charged with first-degree murder, and the whole Leary family jumps to his defense. The evidence against him is as thin as the ice on Finn Lake. But an overzealous prosecutor and a rookie detective seem determined to see Cole go down for this no matter what.

Just as she’s about to crack the case, new evidence emerges that convinces Cass her client’s being framed. Cass’ dogged determination to defend him could upend the police department and ruin careers. But if she doesn’t uncover the truth, the real killer could strike again.

Can Cass bust open this conspiracy before another innocent girl dies?

First Degree is the seventh stand-alone book in a spine-tingling series of legal thrillers. If you like compelling courtroom dramas, strong female characters, and mind-bending plot twists, then you’ll love Robin James’ pause-resisting story.

Loved all the characters coming to life and always keep me guessing and looking forward to what was around the corner.

I love these books

Great narrator who I could listen to constantly. Robin James is a master at legal thrillers and I can't wait for the next one.

One of my favs

Suspenseful and somewhat of a twist at the end that is an unexpected ending. One of the best in the series so far!!!!

Blew my mind

I consider myself a bright person but even I didn’t see this twist coming!!!!!! Lots of pain, suffering and family relationships of every kind presented in a marvellous way!
